The U.S. Virgin Islands has been named the official Caribbean Tourism Destination of the inaugural LPGA Tour’s FM Championship, which will kick off at TPC Boston on August 29.
Part of the multi-year partnership involves the branding of the U.S. Virgin Island Champions Club on TPC Boston’s 16th green. “It is an exciting time for the U.S. Virgin Islands, as we expand our sports partnerships portfolio and collaborate with LPGA,” said Tourism Commissioner Joseph Boschulte. “Our territory’s long standing connection to the golf world makes this an easy collaboration as we continue to bridge the gap for tourists to explore and engage in golfing opportunities throughout the USVI territory.”
The U.S. Virgin Islands Champions Club affords ticket holders spectacular views of the green, and access to amenities including island-themed cocktails. The vibrant culture of the Virgin Islands will also be on display with performances by dancers and moko jumbies.
“While the LPGA Tour showcases the highest level of professional golf on the course, the U.S. Virgin Islands – an area known for its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage – will provide an energetic and exciting experience for our fans outside the ropes,” said Patrick Healy, FM Championship Tournament director. “We are eager to highlight the U.S. Virgin Islands’ exceptional qualities and extend its warm, welcoming spirit to Boston’s golf enthusiasts and the broader community.”
